Details
Submitted by[?]: Kapitalist-Arbeitsfamilien Partei
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 2495
Description[?]:
(1) Theism (belief in God) is a PHILOSOPHY unbacked by empirical evidence!!! (2) NON-theism (atheism), or non-belief in God) is a PHILOSOPHY unbacked by empirical evidence!!! (3) ANY philosophy unbacked by EMPIRICALLY-tested scientific evidence unobserved by the 5 senses is the definition of RELIGION!!! (4) Therefore, it is logically and rationally conclusive to conclude that BOTH Militant Atheism & Theism are RELIGIONS [i.e. if A = B & B = C; therefore, it is logically conclusive to state that A = C (Common Sense)]!!! (5) In conclusion, if BOTH Theism & Militant Atheism is RELIGION that different people of the population hold, then it just makes sense to let each INDIVIDUAL school decide on prayer!!! Thank you for your full support. |

| Message | [OOC] According to the DICTIONARY--[cf. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Religion]--what we call "religion" has one of 2 meanings: (1) "a set of BELIEFS concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, ESPECIALLY (or usually, but NOT "always") when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs." (2) "a specific fundamental set of BELIEFS and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects:" (a) Atheism is much as a RELIGION as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism b/c what they ALL have in common is that they adhere to a BELIEF system that is UNBACKED by physical & empirically-tested scientific evidence. Moreover, organized religion cannot--of course--present "empirical evidence" that "proves" the existence of God, BUT an atheist cannot "prove" that God's existence does NOT exist via empirical evidence. In other words, while the Deist would hold to the view that the orgin of the universe came by the seemingly "irrational view" of "intelligent design," the Athiest likewise holds to a seemingly IRRATIONAL view that that the amazing SYMMETRY & COMPLEXITIES of a convoluted universe was created simply by an "act of dice" (random chance). I mean, even dice and game(s) of CHANCE had a "thrower"(haha). (3) Therefore, between me, Stuart, the FRP, yourself, and Greg, a sociologist and/or antrhopologist would argue the case in a peer-reviewed scientific journal that, to be "technical," ALL of us are "irrational" b/c the only RATIONAL person is the AGONOSTIC who says "You cannot say with certainty whether God exists or doesn't exist." cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism |
